L’utilité de ce genre d’institutions est incontestable. Car le monde moderne est sans cesse confronté à des innovations, médicales ou autres, qui s’appliquent à l’homme ou à son environnement proche. Ce lieu est donc nécessaire pour préparer la matière intellectuelle qui sera ensuite transférée aux citoyens afin que ceux- ci puissent se prononcer quant à la légitimité de ces innovations.

Katrina Karkazis is a Senior Research Scholar at the Center for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford University and faculty affiliate in the Program in Sex, Gender & Sexuality Studies, also at Stanford. She is the author of Fixing Sex: intersex, medical authority, and lived experience (Duke, 2008) and more than two dozen articles on various topics on gender and medicine, and clinical and research ethics.

During her Fall 2013 stay at the Brocher Foundation, Karkazis is collaborating with Dr. Rebecca Jordan-Young (Barnard College) on an analysis of new sporting policies that ban women athletes whose own bodies naturally produce high levels of testosterone. Drs. Karkazis and Jordan-Young are writing an article that examines these policies from the perspective of athletes’ health, exploring how the sports approach to high testosterone compares with both standard medical care and accepted ethical principles. The team is also writing a book that uses these sporting policies as a lens for examining socially-important scientific conflicts (e.g., how scientists in different disciplines understand the relations among testosterone, sex, and athletic ability), as well as the role of science in authorizing widely circulating ideas about gender, race, nation, and fairness.
